    I’m reminded of that Hitler’s childhood Jewish family doctor (Eduard Bloch) who cared for Hitler’s mother, often pro bono, before she died of cancer. At her funeral, Hitler bowed and expressed his “eternal gratitude”- he later also sent a postcard and handmade gifts. As the antisemitic policies intensified, Hitler assigned him special protection by the gestapo so none of it would affect him. He was allowed to sell his home at market price and emigrate. Then there was also that one little (ethnic) Jewish girl (Bernile Nienau) and her mother, who befriended Hitler as well, were photographed many times together, and who called him “uncle Hitler…” I guess they were allowed to live too.

    Maybe if she’s befriended the next mustache man or other higher ups she’ll make it? Fingers crossed lmao…
